6 Predictions for the Future of the Internet
Last September the Internet turned 40. I think it’s safe to say that no technology has evolved so much in so little time. Even in the past fifteen years or so, it has completely reinvented itself; arguably several times. Now we not only shop, bank, work and meet people online; but we share what we are doing at any given moment (e.g. Twitter), and even keep statistics on daily minutia. We read, listen and watch everything. So what’s next? Technology is always evolving – and none quite as fast as the Internet. A quick preface OK Internet, let’s call a truce for a minute or two. As anyone who has spent time on a site’s comment section knows, the Internet can be a cruel place. 1. Dick Tracey was ahead of the curve Building the web with standards and accessibility in mind brings the Internet to as wide an audience as possible. I’m calling it: people on the train with headphones attached to their mobile device while Text-to-Speech reads them the latest articles from their favorite sites. 2. 3.

Internet Traffic is now 51% Non-Human
So you thought the Internet was made by and for people? Think again. A study by Incapsula, a provider of cloud-based security for web sites (mind you where this data comes from), concludes that 51% of all Internet traffic is generated by non-human sources such as hacking software, scrapers and automated spam mechanisms. While 20% of the 51% non-human traffic is’ good’, the 31% majority of this non-human traffic is potentially malicious. The study is based on data collected from 1,000 websites that utilize Incapsula’s services, and it determined that just 49% of Web traffic is human browsing. 20% is benign non-human search engine traffic, but 31% of all Internet traffic is tied to malicious activities. 19% is from ” ‘spies’ collecting competitive intelligence,” 5% is from automated hacking tools seeking out vulnerabilities, 5% is from scrapers and 2% is from content spammers. Presumably these numbers will only rise. Thanks Bruce.

To broaden its fundraising base and support its growth, SolarCity said Wednesday it will tap new types of investors by launching an online investing tool developed a company it bought last month.

Say cheese! Making pizza a guilt-free pleasure | euronews, futuris
Easy to make, cheap and cheerful, pizza remains a favorite meal in many countries. But, as with many things in life, the pleasure comes with a price. Much of the flavour comes from the fatty cheese that melts so deliciously, and so temptingly for diet-watchers. Is it possible to make pizza less fatty?” A low-fat pizza starts with low-fat cheese. Scientists working within a European research project made mozzarella-type cheese from skimmed milk, bringing fat content from 21% down to just 3% – the taste was still excellent. Mariela Serrano, a molecular geneticist with CSK Food enrichment says the difference is evident: “We made cheese that contains 3% fat, produced with specially designed bacterial cultures. But it is a problem for pizza makers: low-fat cheese doesn’t melt in the same way in the oven. To make low-fat cheese melt as it should engineers have come up with a technological solution. The coating emulsion is necessary because it makes the non-fat cheese melt properly.
